File Explorer Share name contains $ sign
Hi,
I'm on Mac and trying to setup a file explorer session to connect to my server.
The share name is EXE$
When I click, the server is mounted on Finder, but on embedded window, it doesn't go the folder.
Any help?

Hi,
This is weird. We will open a ticket to investigate the issue.
We'll get back in touch if we need more information.

Hi,
We've found the issue and implemented a fix. This should be available in the next version that will get release (somewhere in the weeks after the holiday period).
The issue specifically here is the "$" character (it would be an issue with any character that would usually need to be encoded in a URL). We use a method to get the host from folders in the Volumes folder and this method seems to encode such characters. When we were doing the comparison, we did not take into account this encoding.
A workaround while waiting for the fix to be available would be to not include such characters in the share name. I realize that this might not be something that can be changed though.

Hi telmop,
A new version of RDM Mac (2022.3.15.2) is now available with a fix for this.
Please, do tell me if you still encounter issues.
